I would always have a copy of The Economist, New Yorker, NYRB, LRB or similar when I was travelling around London, so avoiding boredom was a priority for me even then. Much more restful to read a physical magazine though, and the only thing to distract me from an article was other articles in the magazine or my surroundings rather than "maybe that comment on Hacker News has a few more upvotes now".
This seems like a category error. Topics that have political aspects, e.g. environmentalism, also have non-political aspects.

Also, it just seems like an excuse for mob mentality. It's "if you're not for us you're against us" with extra steps.
FWIW, Putin was also overwhelmingly elected by people "voting for change" back in the day.
It obviously matters because then demand for housing speculation will be bounded by population density instead of greed, and corporations will not be able to do things like own double digits of the housing supply in some large metro areas:

Usefulness to society is only meaningful if a society is going somewhere. Modern societies don't have any collective goals, they are just drifting agglomerations of individuals, most of them intent on their own enrichment or pleasure. So there is nothing for talented individuals to contribute to, and they may as well channel their energies into following their own curiosity.

Same situation. So I'm going back to marketing (what I did in 2010 before dev). I'm deciding to start a digital agency with my target niche being drone operators.

I'm working on the best model like a productized service or revenue share agreement etc... my primary service is cold-emailing mixed with online presence and branding.

Cold-emailing doesn't really fly if your business doesn't at least seem legit and have a website etc ..

I thought about starting a drone company myself doing aerial surveys but figure I can get a lot of experience around the industry by servicing existing drone operators and maybe someday I'll start my own drone business as well.

email in profile if anyone has referrals I could really use them.

Also I can help with cold-emailing campaigns for other industries and niches, that's just my primary target.
Plenty of email servers will throw you off for using the domain to email things they disagree with. It's just that most people have migrated to general purpose providers for their personal addresses.
Yes. USB A has no cc pins so it will always provide 5V but it may not provide the full 3A which USB-C will.
For these reasons, Jimmy Carter is my third-favorite president of the 20th century, behind my favorite, Calvin Coolidge, and my second-favorite, Dwight Eisenhower. I am a very big fan of Paul Volcker and I’m glad Jimmy Carter nominated him as chair of the Fed. I wish Reagan kept Volcker as chair during Reagan’s second term.

The researchers did a great job in pointing out the failures in what basically is an old DIN standard that should not be used in this century. I congratulated them after the talk as I did similar research and didn’t get it finished for 38C8. Their presentation is spot on. The attack vector is definitely feasible and publicly known for a while. I honestly don’t understand why nobody in the industry wanted to switch to a safer alternative.
The reaction by EFR will create an unnecessary Streisand effect and after all they will be able to upsell their customers to a (soon to be legacy) 450 MHz LTE system.
Yes, they are (or in the case of Poland were) worse. The act like typical authoritarians. In Hungry democracy is essential neutered.
> This doesn't actually bear out. Minimum wage increases really don't have a history of making minimum wage employees unemployable, or destroying the companies affected. In fact, the opposite tends to happen, as these businesses tend to be frequented by other minimum wage employees as customers, so it ends up being a rising tide that lifts all boats.

An utterly strange comparison.

The current Inuits are no more "native" than the Norse settlers, and in fact arrived later than the Scandinavians.

Comparing the treatment of Greenlanders in any way to "genocide" is terrible. A "misguided" Western intervention, perhaps, but mostly at the wish of the Greenlandic heads.
What matters is the difference between how the world would be with your actions and how it would be otherwise.

I'd love to know what people think he could have done differently about the hostages. Bear in mind that he would have been as politically ruined by a parade of dead hostage bodies so any "go harder" proposal has its own risks. If only the choppers hadn't failed?

Look a little harder.

The people living through the 1970s knew how bad he was and chose to put him out. He had bad staff, bad relations with the overwhelmingly Democratic Congress, and we got the Mayaguez, iran hostage, stagflation, and other troubles too many to list.

He was a bad president, a good man, and a great ex-president.
So what changed my point of view? Russiagate.

And that's your cardinal error.

To come to an understanding of what's been happening to Ukraine -- you need to focus on Ukraine, and its history, along with the history of the region. Especially in regard to what all of these countries have had to put up with for the past 400 years.

Not the US, and its never-ending internal scandals and naval-gazing shenanigans. The idea that stuff like the Russiagate can begin to matter in comparison to what's actually happening in Ukraine ironically reflects a profound Western-centric bias.

Your secondary error is to adopt as an axiom that "anti-Putin" and "pro-West" are on a common axis, and part of a zero-sum game.

And hence to be anti-Putin is to be "pro-West", and a sucker for its propaganda.

I also found out that it wasn't Russian operatives shooting at the Maidan protestors from the top of a building. It was neo Nazi Ukrainians.

Except you didn't "find this out". Your read it on a blog somewhere, and it never occurred to you to dig behind this assertion and fact-check it.

The West does Propaganda too.

Then just ignore it, and use your brain instead.

It's not that hard, really.
Hmm... DDD is specifically not about building CRUD apps. If your business is literally creating, read, updating and deleting records, and that's all you talk about all day with your customers, then you don't need DDD. DDD is about building software for businesses that actually do stuff. So your vocabulary would include words like ship, publish, accrue etc and nobody ever talks about "updating records" ever. I maintain a system for inventory storage and tracking. The users want the system to tell them where to put inventory, they don't even know or care about the database.

SICP is more general and definitely includes the really powerful bits, namely using abstraction to build higher-level languages (like DDD's domain model). DDD is more of an opinionated way to build business software specifically.

IMO the point is not for OP or me or anyone to dictate where buildings should go. If a lot of people want to live in Shaughnessy then there will be a strong incentive for Shaughnessy property owners to build. Ofc not everyone will build and that’s fine too. In other areas whether fewer people want to live there be little or no incentive to build, which is also fine imo. Sfh, whether in Houston or Toronto are also fine imo, so long as they are voluntary. It’s the mandatory ones I’m concerned with.

Re: housing and freeways - this only works up to a point. Cars and freeways have strong negative externalities - they destroy the very notion of what a city is, they make it miserable, noisy, unsafe, and expensive. Buildings don’t do any of that, they just sit there quietly, so there’s much less reason to try to keep the supply of buildings small, unlike freeway infrastructure.

Ofc some ppl who dislike cities may suggest that a single small apartment building destroys the thing they like most - the lack of people, which is understandable to a certain extent, but difficult to defend. If we are go there then we just end up with an endless circle of people pointing at each other saying, “I’m allowed to live here but you aren’t”
What does your governor say?
Serious question, is there any nuanced difference between "homeless" and "unhoused", or is it just a rebranding attempt (like spastic, then handicapped, then disabled, then differently abled, etc).

I suppose in certain circles "homeless" leads to connotations of drug use, dirtyness and crazyness, where as "unhoused" (to me at least) conjures and image of a regular person in a temporary situation.
Geneve to Munich is probably an example I experienced several times.

It feels like for a lot of people (I'm including myself in that) "reducing social media consumption" is a somewhere between "reducing my cocaine usage" and "reducing my heroin usage" it's so compulsive. I'm not sure there's much to be done except not be on it.
> The article doesn't attempt to throw him out or cancel him for the worst things he said and did

The last line of the article is:

"Maybe the best way to remember Mullis and his invention of PCR is to make some space for the others who made it a reality."

Petty. This is in addition to aspersions like this one:

"Despite knowing little about molecular biology, Mullis was hired to work in the company’s DNA synthesis lab"

Also, there's a direct comparison to Trump for some unfathomable reason (well...unfathomable except that, again, to the readers of a magazine from Berkeley, that means that Mullis is a bad man).

Is this "cancellation"? I don't know. But it's pretty darned immature, and a blatant attempt to tear down the guy in relation to his one objective accomplishment.

As for word choice: pretty much every famous person has a large contingency who cannot stand them, so I guess it's fair game now to just call them all "intolerable". C'est la vie.

I do it. Typically just checking a few message alerts, or finishing a news story, or starting a podcast download. It's less disruptive than checking those items in front of someone else, when you should be giving the other person attention.

Do I have to? No. Do I always do it? No. But just today at the gym, I used the 30 seconds or so there to start downloading a podcast to listen to during my workout. Every button click takes a couple seconds, pause, wait, etc... Why not stack those non-productive times together?

This used to be a thing- I remember my father excitedly configuring a made-to-order laptop from ZipZoomFly[0] back in the day. I think that the market wasn’t kind to them though, the ecosystem about replaceable laptop parts never matured to the point where it was competitive with the proprietary designs, and standards constantly changed because of the form factor’ constraints, so the dream of just replacing a single part never materialized.

Closest thing to that dream now is the framework laptop, which does have replaceable parts.

What did unions really do for people in their heyday? They worked to improve working conditions, pay, and benefits. Literally nothing there really applies to tech nowadays…especially in FAANG (although most orgs too) and in the US.

What is a union going to get you that you don’t have now? You will still have no protection from layoffs. You will not get measurably different pay increases. You will not get full time WFH if your company values in office work. There are a plethora of offshore scabs that your company can employ should you want to strike—people who will not be shamed taking your place because virtual work eliminates the need to physically cross a picket line.

Unionizing tech simply does not have the same threat to an organization…it’s an annoyance, not a danger.
Stop whining right wing snowflake. You accused them of being racist with no evidence whatsoever.

As a former president I wonder why he voted for Harris and went as far to tell others that he did so, but didn’t officially endorse. Seemed strange. A vote is tacit approval no? Was he against endorsements in general? He endorsed Mondale and Clinton iirc

Regardless at least he wasn’t as divisive as 45.

I generally think autoconf etc should be defined to expect certain things by default (keyed by OS), and fail loudly rather than auto-disabling those features. If you really don't want those features, pass in --disable-foo.

I re-did Firefox's autoconf to do this back around 2010 (was contracting for Mozilla as a part-time job in college), after running into one too many features that were automatically disabled because of a missing library. There was at least one Firefox nightly that was missing an important feature because the build machine didn't have the required library.
Not entirely.

TRAINING an LLM requires a lot of compute. Running inference on a pre-trained LLM is less computationally expensive, to the point where you can run LLAMA (cost $$$ to train on Meta's GPU cluster) with CPU-based inference.
lol great analogy.
This issue goes back a long way, and the blame goes to a combination of OEMs and Intel (and AMD) wanting to sell RAID solutions without needing real RAID hardware, and the Intel CPU and chipset teams playing along in ways that they really should not have.

In the AHCI era (and earlier), drives connected to a SATA controller, and there were three ways this could work:

a) The controller was just a controller. Perhaps it appeared as an AHCI device over PCI. No funny business, and the OS could talk to the drive more or less directly via the controller.

b) Hardware, at at least hardware-ish, RAID. A RAID controller speaks SATA to the drives, and the OS speaks some protocol to the controller. It’s possible for the protocol to be obnoxious and to require obnoxious drivers and/or management software, but at least it makes sense.

c) Software “RAID” that pretends to be hardware. The CPU really does speak AHCI to the drive, but the vendor has decided to make it pretend to be a high end vendor thing and to integrate it with BIOS. But this is a mess, since the controller really is AHCI. So some hack is done to prevent the OS’s native driver from noticing the AHCI devices and instead let a (generally very bad) vendor “driver” that is actually a full RAID stack claim the devices. This could be as simple as firmware asking the AHCI controller not to report AHCI compatibility. Intel has also enabled this through multiple generations of disgusting kludges.

Enter NVMe. Unlike SATA, there is no controller. NVMe drives are PCIe devices. So the choices are different:

a) Vendor does nothing except boot support. NVMe drives show up on PCIe just like anything else would.

b) Vendor has an actual RAID controller. It’s a device that speaks PCIe to the NVMe devices and, itself, acts as an NVMe (or AHCI) device as seen by the OS. This could work fine, but it’s unlikely to be as fast as the drives themselves (NVMe is fast).

c) A truly atrocious hack, again enabled by Intel, in which firmware can ask the Intel PCIe hardware to straight up lie to the OS about what devices are connected. The hardware will try to identify NVMe drives that it’s supposed to hide (which is itself a mess — these drives are all actually just PCIe devices, and there is no reliable way in general to figure out which devices are supposed to be hidden). Then some magic “RAID” driver will do some other kludge to talk to the NVMe devices behind the OS’s back and pretend to be a disk itself. Of course it works poorly.

In any case, I wonder if the OP’s machine is actually an example of (b), where the NVMe drives, presumably connected to a fancy backplane, are genuinely connected via PCIe to an actual RAID controller, not the CPU or chipset. If so, a firmware option for “native NVMe” would make no sense, and the actual correct solution is for the OP to arrange for the Windows installer to use the right driver. This has been officially supported, usually in some annoying way, since at least Windows NT 4.0 and probably for quite a bit longer.
I love The Expanse and it gets things right more than other sci-fi. However, I think it vastly _underestimates_ the amount of injustice than can be caused by powerful people with the help of advanced technology and ML.

1) You can literally cover the planet with sensors and make privacy impossible. Cameras and microphones are already cheap and small. What will they look like in several hundred years? You can already eavesdrop on a conversation in a closed room, e.g. by bouncing a laser off the window to amplify air vibrations. What will be possible in several hundred years?

2) Right now, suppressing the population by force requires control of a sufficient number of serviles. These serviles are prone to joining the revolution if you ask them to harm their own friends and families (Chine only managed to massacre Tianennmen square after reinforcements from other regions survived because the initial wave joined the protesters). They are prone to only serving as long as you can offer them money or threaten then credibly.

In the near future, it will be possible to suppress any uprising (if you're willing to use violence) by a small number of people controlling a large number of automated tools (e.g. killbots, the drone war in Ukraine is a taste of what's to come).

Spoilers ahead.

The story vastly underestimates the competence of state level bad actors.

In the books, Holden and his group were attacked on Eros by a small number (single digits) of covert agents and only managed to survive thanks to Miller. In reality, you don't send 4 people to apprehend 4 people, you send 40.

Later, Holden and other people were apprehended on Ganymede and again, managed to get out of it by overpowering their captors because the government just didn't send enough people. This is not gonna happen in reality.

(Though you might be able to kill one if you're also willing to die in the process. A Belarusian citizen had several KGB agents break into his flat but because it took them a while to break the door down, he managed to grab his gun, ambushed them and shot one in the stomach. The aggressor later bled out but the citizen was also killed.)
Also, you can store them as a BIGINT, which is awesome. So much smaller than even a binary-encoded UUID. IIRC the spec reserves the right to use the sign bit, so if you’re concerned, use BIGINT UNSIGNED (natively in MySQL, or via extension in Postgres).

I wish more people cared about the underlying tech of their storage layer – UUIDv4 as a string is basically the worst-case scenario for a PK, especially for MySQL / InnoDB.
So, on the STM32 (which is the only place I am using RTIC), I don't use the Embassy executor. I just use the embassy-stm32 hal crate for all my peripherals and embassy-futures for some of the executor-agnostic no_std and non-alloc futures utilities.

A lot of embassy (except quite unsurprisingly, the executor) is executor agnostic. In fact, I think it might be _all_ of embassy that is executor agnostic. There's some information here: https://rtic.rs/dev/book/en/rtic_and_embassy.html

While my code is not public yet, here is an example (written by someone else) of STM32 code using the embassy-stm32 I2C peripheral wrapper with RTIC:
